• In their culture, rubbing one’s skin on silver was a sure cure for any topical diseases. This ultimately turned into the superstition that an itch meant silver was coming your way. 

And with time, left-hand itching became a signal for money coming in.

• In Celtic traditions, touching wood was a superstition in itself that was meant to guarantee good luck. Celts were the Indo-European tribe living in mainland Europe.

• When both the traditions settled in the British area and their beliefs got mixed together, the itchy palm superstitions emerged.
